Featuring Franco as twins Vincent and Frankie Martino and Gyllenhaal as Eileen "Candy" Merrel, the show revolves around the rise of the porn industry in New York City during the 1970s and '80s.

"I think it's impossible to anticipate or expect what's coming. Even for me, I wept when I read the final episode," Gyllenhaal said in a statement.

Created by David Simon and Geaorge Pelecanos, the third season marks the time in the 1980's New York pornography industry, when VHS and glamorisation of California were capitalised on to build the industry, HIV was on a rise and the neighbourhood is undergoing a transformation.
